Trapper Leo park, was named after a very well known resident of St. Catharints Len Leo.

Len received his nick name "Trapper". This was because at a very young age he loved to be out doors and hunting was his favourite sport.

Open to the public, this park provides entertainment to the many resident that live close by to it.

Children of a younger age enjoy the playground on site and parents can keep watch on them with comfortable seating available through the park. Along side the playground equipment are 2 soccer fields which are opened to the public and also use for organized games.

Leo, through out his life was involved in the development of the Merrittion area and after the Second World War he became town councillor of Merrittion. Later he was elected as part of St.Catharines city council.

Len (Trapper) Leo never turned away some one in need of help and not a day went by where he didn't offer his help when needed.

So much so during his dinner he would keep the phone on the dinner table, so he wouldn't have to move to far to attend any calls.

Due to his modest and self-less personality he was a very well know man and In recognition of his forever kind deeds the city remembers him by opening Trapper Leo Park in his Honour.
